Engaging Culture 3

This week we’re looking at strategies for engaging the soul of today’s youth culture. Make an intentional effort to look for and seize opportunities to speak biblical truth into their lives in response to the realities that exist. In effect, you are preaching the truths of the Gospel to your kids. Looking in the soup of youth culture will reveal the realities that exist. Spending time with Jesus in his word will shape your biblically faithful response. At times, you will find yourself affirming that the map of culture is sending students in the right direction. At other times, you’ll challenge the map when it sends them down the wrong road. If you’re a youth worker, look for every opportunity to point kids in the right direction. And if you’re a parent, don’t ever forget that God has given you primary responsibility for the spiritual nurture of your children. Lead the kids you know and love to the truth.
